Airlines can nominate the airports and tourism authorities they feel have delivered exceptional marketing support over the past 12 months.

The Routes Europe route development forum has been officially handed over to Hannover, Germany – the host destination for 2019.

Brussels Airport has been crowned the overall winner of the Routes Europe 2018 Marketing Awards. Leon Verhallen, the airport's head of aviation development, said: “We had not been nominated for two years in a row, so we are absolutely delighted to win this award and be recognised by our European clients."
